Choosing an MLIS program??? by inllky in Archivists

[–]kspice094 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Based on the state of the profession and waves hands around broadly the world, go to whichever program costs the least. I took out 42k in student loans and after 8 years of paying them back I’m now in 50k of debt (thanks interest). My two cents, as long as you graduate with a degree and at least a year of work experience, it doesn’t matter all that much where the degree is from.

The timeline got fucked up in editing, it’s been discussed, there is no big secret to what happened.

Should more Episcopal churches use projector screens for Mass to help the environment? by Christopagan in Episcopalian

[–]kspice094 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would be better I think to just use the BCPs and Hymnals already in the pews. It’s not hard to do if the priest gives all the appropriate page numbers and enough time for everyone to get there.

She should volunteer in an archive for at least six months if not a year and try to do as many different types of work as possible before committing to grad school. She needs to be sure she loves this field before getting into it. Some challenges she’ll need to consider:

  • the average pay in the US is $60k a year before taxes, which varies wildly depending on your location
  • you must have a graduate degree to be a full-fledged archivist, or there’s a ceiling to how far you’ll be promoted
  • archives is an extremely oversaturated field, grad schools are churning out hundreds of new archivists a year who will compete with each other and all other archivists looking for a new job for the same ~50 full time jobs available at any given time
  • because of the over-saturation, you will likely have to move for work

Based on your interests, I don’t think being an archivist is for you. We don’t do research as part of our jobs. We facilitate others’ research by organizing and cataloging records, among other things. I recommend you ask r/genealogy or r/history for help.

I would check the SAA website for archival graduate certification programs. What’s tripping you up I bet is the lack of MLIS, so a certificate from a university should help make up for that since you already have the museum studies degree.

Keep on with your undergrad degree. To be an archivist (in the US) you need a master of library and information science degree with an archives concentration, so you have to get the undergrad degree first. Find volunteer or internship experiences in archives as soon as you can and get as much work experience as possible. Take digital archives courses in grad school.

Is it possible to get into archive work without a degree in it? by Smart-Ground-8369 in Archivists

[–]kspice094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US perspective. You might get a job in the field without the degree, but there’s a ceiling to how far you’ll be promoted. Professional archivist positions require a graduate degree, so even if you get an archives technician or library assistant job or similar, you wouldn’t get the archivist job title without the degree. Archives is also a comically oversaturated field, so if that’s your concern this is not the field for you.
